Out of curiosity, we have been looking more and more into topics such as the Dao, Zen, Stoicism, and much more, and have discovered some things that unfortunately get too little attention in our society. But we found that in their substance, these topics feel so much healthier than the classic \"self-worth through achievement or possessions\" scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tw-text-wide\">We in no way wish to lessen the meaningfulness of good work and participation in society. Rather, it is an attempt to show that we should strive for a more honest relationship with things and an appreciation of simplicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the categories we'll be covering most with you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Philosophical concepts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Society<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minimalism<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tw-text-wide\">We are happy that you have landed here and even happier if you can take something away from it. Of course, we are always grateful when you share something with us and we can learn from each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>More about us<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tw-text-wide\">By the way, besides the interests mentioned so far, we are nature-loving nerds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tw-text-wide\">We both love fiction since young childhood. Especially The Lord of the Rings, but also the Witcher universe and other. Video games are as much a part of our interests as exploring nature. Here are a few more specific points about each of us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"707\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/howtolive.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/tempFileForShare_20210907-230756.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/how-to-live.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/tempFileForShare_20210907-230756.jpg 707w, https:\/\/how-to-live.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/tempFileForShare_20210907-230756-300x289.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 707px) 100vw, 707px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"simon\">Simon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Forest smell<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Port and red wine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New Zealand (even though I have not been there YET) <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That's me in Ranger colors enjoying the stunning views and clear mountain air in Graub\u00fcnden.

With these we know exactly what is being advertised and can ensure that we stand behind the products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tw-text-wide\">That means, if you visit sites with our affiliate links and buy a product or service there, we get a commission from the site owner. For you nothing changes in the price and we can increasingly focus on this project and publish more content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tw-text-wide\">However, we don't expect you to use the affiliate links and it's perfectly fine with us if you don't buy anything through them \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, and only buy items that are truly useful to you. Conscious consumption is still a topic that needs to be developed more in society, although, fortunately, it has been gaining momentum for a few years now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Be in contact with us<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tw-text-wide\">We would love to hear from you.
